This study examined both objective and subjective measures of driving behaviors occurring in the past 5 years for 47 individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 22 healthy controls (HC), matched for age, gender, education, and years of driving experience. RESULTS: Overall, subtle descriptive differences in driving characteristics were observed between the two groups. However, comparison of self-reported and documented reports of aberrant driving behaviors did not reveal a significantly greater number of accidents or violations among TBI participants compared with HC drivers. The results suggest that individuals with TBI, who successfully complete a driving evaluation program, are able to reintegrate into the driving community with minimal difficulty.
